Would you wear a plaid shirt backwards?

Seems like it would be hard to get on and off. Pretty sure no one would let me leave the house like that. I suppose it could be fashion forward though.

A big no for me. I think some could possibly pull the look off.

This would not work for me or for most people, IMO. But I agree with Ledonna that some could pull the look off, someone who was a really unconventional dresser.

Looks a bit like a straight jacket to me, so I think I will pass.

I agree with Brooklyn, it looks like a straightjacket. The print makes it a fashionable one though

I won't be adopting this look, Joy! The wearer probably just likes to get herself noticed - for whatever reason.

I like the straightjacket comment - Brooklyn, you're right, it does look like one. A big "NO" from me. People would think I'd finally flipped my lid and gone crazy.

No. No. No. It comes down to comfort. How could that possibly be comfortable? How would you move it it?

Yes, the model/blogger put it on backwards and posed for a shot. Then she took it off and put on a tee shirt. I'm not fooled.

It doesn't look bad, but I don't think I could hack it with my boobs.

I'm sure someone could pull it off, but not for me Too impractical and unconventional.

I would wear a shirt backwards.--just not plaid. There was a trend a few years back wearing a mans shirt as a dress, a skirt, etc. there's a video where it's made into 5 different items. I was fascinated but my pretty pear shape did not work with complex draping.

It doesn't look bad, but I would not wear that, maybe some young girls.

I think this was a big thing on Man Repeller a couple seasons ago, the backwards button-front. It just reminds me of wearing old shirts as painting smocks in kindergarten...

La P, I was going to same the same thing! I think I"ll pass on this styling without the painting, though! I do, however, like the shirt, and I love wrapping a shirt like this across the front and tucking into the waistband!

Reminds me of summer camp and "Backwards Day". Very fun when you are 12... not so much at 59.

It is certainly attention grabbing and I can see the look working for bloggers, but it would be probably difficult for most regular people, including myself. I will admit to wearing cardigans backward in the past, but they were soft and stretchy and it (hopefully) looked like wearing sweaters with buttons at the back.

Too bizarre for me, I'm afraid. It looks like she might slowly be choking!

Wonder what the view on the back looks like?

Makes me slightly nauseous. Kinda horror film - spinning heads stuff. Although, it's funny, with a few sewing tweaks, I could see this as being fashionable. But this pic, I feel like I'm being choked.

Also: I think this may be the one time when 'trying too hard' would not be a mean, but rather helpful, statement... lol. Listen, if I say no to something crazy... hehe

Maybe if the pants were worn backward, too, like Kris Kross? Um, no.

I'm not a super conventional dresser, and I like versatile clothing items, so might wear a plaid shirt backwards, but not a plaid button down. Thinking about it, I haven't worn anything that touches my neck in years. I really do want to see this from the back.

Ha! I intentionally wore my shirt backward when I interviewed for the job I have. It was a patterned shell with a very low neck. I wanted the pattern but not the cleavage, so I flipped it around and wore a jacket over it.

But, wearing a button-down shirt backwards is a non starter.
